there is a series of articles about finlands education system (it being the best in the world) on the bbc webstie, go check them out: bbc link (a few more articles are linked to on the right hand side of the page)

the new manifesto 05 calendar thingy is on sale here in helsinki. check out the html obstacle course website. anyhoo, the book is on sale around the city for 12€, any book that mentions me and broken toilets (no connection) on the same page is well worth it. (update: check out the flash page)

check out korttelit.fi if you’re a fan of helsinki architecture. its got pictures from (so far) four central areas of helsiki and you can search by architect/district/street/year. a really nicely designed site.

i opened this picture this morning in photoshop and i had no idea that i took it (just yesterday) or where i took it. took me a minute to remember that it was on pitkäsilta near hakaniemi.
